Apart from gravity, the Casimir effect also draws them together, causing noise in the experiment. A thin copper plate can shield this effect, reducing the noise and making the experiment more ...

Introduction Shielding aimed to protect those predicted to be at highest risk from COVID-19 and was uniquely implemented in the UK during the first year of the pandemic from March 2020. As the first ...

Abstract: High atomic number and high-energy (HZE) particles in deep space are of low abundance but substantially contribute to the biological effects of space radiation. Shielding is so far the most ...

Abstract: The stress shielding effect of profuse microcracks at the tip of a macroscopic stationary mode-I crack is studied. The analysis method adopted combines the micromechanical approach with the ...
